I recently bought a PS3 and wanted to use it not only for games but to use it for watching and listening to stuff. I have an extra 500GB SATA drive lying around and wanted to use it in an external case. I however want the external drive and case to turn on and off when the PS3 does as I often forget to shut it off or fall asleep and don't shut it off. But I can't find one. I have a my book that turns on and off with my PC but I do not want to buy a new my book because I have the extra drive lying around, so I am looking for a enclosure that will fit a 3.5" SATA hard drive and is USB and turns on and off with the PS3. Does anyone know where I can find one or if they even make one.
Thanks in Advance!

Well you could find one that gets its power via usb, then when the ps3 is off and there would be no power to the drive.

Yeah what I was looking for is where I could find one of those. Does USB powered drives work with the PS3?
